Answer:

 h=26.49m

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take a look at the picture I attached you. It is a drawing which represent the problem.

As you can see from the picture the building height h would be the sum of the person's height plus the length of the side a of the triangle:

h=1,72m+a

There are many ways to solve this problem, however I believe that the easiest one is using tangent identity which states:

tan(\theta) =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Hence:

tan(54)=\frac{a}{18}

Solving for a:

a=tan(54)*18=24.77487457\approx24.77m

So the building height is:

h=1.72+24.77=26.49487457\approx26.49m

<u><em>Translation:</em></u>

Primero, mira la imagen que te adjunté. Es un dibujo que representa el problema.

Como puede ver en la imagen, la altura h del edificio sería la suma de la altura de la persona más la longitud del lado a del triángulo:

h=1,72m+a

Hay muchas maneras de resolver este problema, sin embargo, creo que la más fácil es usar la identidad de la tangente que establece:

tan(\theta) =\frac{opuesto}{adyacente}

Por lo tanto:

tan(54)=\frac{a}{18}

Resolviendo para a:

a=tan(54)*18=24.77487457\approx24.77m

Entonces la altura del edificio es:

h=1.72+24.77=26.49487457\approx26.49m

A trapezoid has base lengths of 12 centimeters and 13 centimeters. The other sides have lengths of 5 centimeters and 10 centimet
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The area of the composite figure is 392.12cm^{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the composite figure = area of trapezoid + area of rectangle

Area of trapezium = \frac{1}{2} ( a +b)h

Where: a is the length of the first base, b the length of the second base and h is the height of the trapzium.

Applying Pythagoras theorem, the height, h, is;

h = \sqrt{5^{2} - 1^{2}  }

  = \sqrt{24}

h  = 2\sqrt{6}

Area of trapezium = \frac{1}{2} ( a +b)h

                              = \frac{1}{2} (13 + 12) × 2\sqrt{6}

                              = 156\sqrt{6}

                              = 382.12cm^{2}

Area of trapezium is 382.12cm^{2}

Area of rectangle = length × width

                             = 5 × 2

                             = 10 cm^{2}

Area of rectangle = 10 cm^{2}

Therefore,

area of the composite figure = 382.12 + 10

                                               = 392.12cm^{2}

Factorise p^2 + q^2 +5(p^2 + q^2)​
Vinvika [58]

Step-by-step explanation:

p² + q² + 5(p² + q²)

= 1(p² + q²) + 5(p² + q²)

= (1 + 5)(p² + q²)

= 6(p² + q²).
